Abstract

As an auxiliary education, homework has become an indispensable way for students to increase learning and mastery in all countries in the world. Parent involvement in homework plays an important role in the education system composed of teachers, students, and parents. Many studies have been conducted on parent participation in homework. In the era of paying increasing attention to talent training and education quality, how we should treat parent involvement? Specifically, how to operationalize and measure the degree of parent involvement, and how to effectively improve the effect of parent involvement have become crucial issues. This paper will review research on three aspects of homework: the typical effects of homework, the effect of parent involvement on homework and the outcomes of homework, and the evaluation of different aspects of parent involvement.
